I know, I know. Ducks are tough BUT this is insanely cold.
The group is 7 welsh harlequin ducks just under a year old.
The coldest will be tonight so added heat would be for just today, tonight and shut off tomorrow by noon.
The coop is a 5x8 walk in structure.
I have sealed oil space heaters and can secure one so they cannot touch it IF I end up caving and putting one in there.
Yesterday I noted 2 females limping a bit. The feet look ok so that they don't end up showing damage in the coming week.
Your thoughts on these insane temps would be appreciated.
It's crazy I am even thinking of adding heat since I am always saying not to.
